    I’m so very sorry for such a tragedy. When I have ever heard anyone speak of your family it’s always been gentle and kind. That’s such a testament to everyone of the love your family shared amongst each other and with those friends you call family. My memories with Benjy in grade school were the exact same. We are praying for strength, healing, and comfort for your future that will now be so different. I wish there was something we could do to take some of the pain away, but that’s a measurement, God allows us to leave behind, of the love you shared. We don’t ever want that to leave. You are in our prayers. ❤️

    As my first cousin. B Jordan as I call him was a true friend and inspiration to me as a godly man. I will miss him dearly. His positive attitude no matter how grim the situation always had a good outlook on the situation. I will miss him dearly, a true friend and inspiration to so many. We all lost a good one,who has touched so many if he meant to or not. I pray for his wife and daughter, and the rest of the family in these trying times. He was a great man. We will miss him dearly.
